Historical description of USS Stevens (DD-479):

USS Stevens (DD-479) belonged to the extremely numerous Fletcher-class destroyers built by the United States during World War II. Launched in 1942, she took active part in operations in the Pacific, supporting landings, escorting convoys, and engaging in combat with the Japanese fleet. The Fletcher-class proved so successful that some ships remained in service for two generations after the war, mainly in allied navies.

The Fletcher-class destroyers – a symbol of US Navy strength during World War II conflicts – were used from 1942 to 1945, playing a key role in, among others, the Battle of Leyte and the invasion of Okinawa.
